Recently, Xiaobian re-read the history of the Warring States and saw a question that made Xiaobian wonder, that is, how did the Yue Kingdom disappear during the Warring States period? This matter must start from the time of King Hui of Chu in the Chu Kingdom. This man reigned for 57 years, fought all his life, and made great contributions to the Chu state, but he did not contribute much to the expansion of the territory of the Chu state, because the Chen guo and Cai guo that he defeated were small countries. He was followed by the King of Chu Huai, and this man did nothing after he ascended the throne, he had lost to the State of Qin three times, but there was one thing he did right, and he also made a great contribution to the State of Chu, that is, he annexed the Yue State located in the Central Plains!
From the picture, we can see that the territory of the Chu state in the late Warring States period was a golden area. However, in history, there is no in-depth description of the territory of the Chu state, especially the Yue state, as if it disappeared out of thin air. In 306 BC, the Central Plains were full of strife, and the Yue kingdom that was in the coastal zone at that time could not sit still, and the Yue king at that time wanted to emulate his ancestors, chase the deer in the Central Plains, and let the Yue kingdom dominate again, but the heavens did not go according to people's wishes, this time he not only did not succeed, but lost his life. Even the capital was flattened by the enemy.
Although it is not a shortage of bullets, the only people left cannot be said to be a country, and the Vietnamese country has disappeared into the stage of history. What about the Chu state that annexed the Yue state? At that time, the King of Qi told the King of Yue that the State of Chu was now defeated by Qin in a row, and now attacking and sneaking into the State of Chu could get a lot of goods. The King of Yue really followed this advice, but he just crashed into the muzzle of the gun of the King of Chu Huai, who had sent his ministers to the State of Yue to investigate for 5 years, and knew its movements very well, so he took the lead in attacking and destroying the Kingdom of Yue.
Later, the change of Yuedi to Jiangdong, for this war, it can be said that in the history of China, it played a role in the expansion of the south. It not only annexed the land of the State of Yue, but also provided sufficient population and economy for the State of Chu, which had failed to resist qin at that time. Therefore, later, the State of Chu had the capital to oppose the Qin forces.
